two pabtyjg.men rushed up to Jthe

trouble. When they le!t the train
both men were exhausted and -unable
to travel. The country at (bat
place is rough, sandy and cut up
by gravel pits.
The farmers, railroad laborers
and officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad were coming up fact, and
soon were close on the fugitives'
heels, trackiag them in the newly
fallen snow; The men were seen as
they -dodged about in the sand, and
tbe farmers, most of whem were
armed with jouble-barreled shot
guns, opened fire on them. Neider
myer received a charge fall in the
bead, aod the blood streamed down
his face and into his eyes, blinding
him so he could,, hardly rise.. A
shot grazed Yandine'a head, carry

wounded leg was; .weakened. s The
posse was closing in on all sides,
ard the murderers surrendered.
IThe men were at once handcuffed

Chicago. Tbey : were, , taken fromi
the : train, and in a patrol wagon
were hurried to tbe City Hall.
They were taken into" the office of
the chief of police, and there, in the
presence of Mayor Harrison and 'a
throng of officers, they discussed
tbe events 01 the day as. calmly, as
though it had been nothing unusu

murdering U. S. Grnt, upon . the
Siletz reservation, dumbfounded the
court and evey one, who bfard the
evidence in the case by returning a

outcome, and; aiQ, to .administer a
gentle ecoriDg to the r,jury"for- .ri
turniog eueh a decision,,, -.He (then
tcored tbe Indiap,;, ajjd told- him
that be was guilty of implication in
the crime, even though he had been
declared inntcent by tbe jury. The
judge declared that tbe jury was in
fluenced 10 coming to the decision
it did by pity for the wife and chil
dren of the defendant. , - . -When
the verdict was announced
in the courtroom an audible expres
sion of disapproval of the result went
over the-en tire audience. " To those
Wbo bad listened, to t the evidence
against both nien. accused "gf . the
cripoe, " it seemed a travesty u pen

there was less substantial evidence,

After listening '-to the verdict the
judge turned to the jury and r8aV
"This bias been a failure' of jus

the wife and little ones Of this de

. How the jury could have found
Logan not guilty, after listening to
the (testimony introduced against
him, is more.tbari.hose! r bo,, list
ened to the case can figure out, The
strange verdict was the all-absorbing
topic of conversation around
the courthouse all day, and there
were a great many adverse Criti
cisms made about the verdict.
On the first ballot in the jury
room, there were seven for convic
tion and five for -acquittal. ," That
this was the case was the statement
of officials who are in a position to
know. The minority held out for
an acquittal because, it is said, of
the feeling for the wifeand children
of the accused man. The fight was
a long one. but the majority finally
sacrificed their convictions and cast
their votes with the five,-;
The displeasure of the Indiana at
the result of Martin's trial was in
creased by the-' result of Logan's.
They did not hesitate to express it
as their opinion thattbefe had been j
a slip in justice somewhere, and
that it was the - height . of injustice
to convict Martin upon the .weak
testimony against him, and allow a
man against whom ..the strangest
evidence was introduced to go free.
Mr. Hall severely .arraigned Lo
gan in his closing argument and the
Indian was visibly affected; He
shifted about uneasily. While Judge
Bellinger was charging the jury
Logan's eyes never left die face of
thecourt, and when His flfconor stat-
ed'that, while there was a prepondt
erance of evidence, which - went to
prove thatmurderhad been commit
ted, there was a doubt in his mind,
as to whether there was malice and
that he believed that tbe ' killing
was the result of a drinking bout.
Logan seemed to take heart. While
tbe jury was still listening to the
instructions, Logan's two little boys,
twins, tiptoed across the courtroom
to the bench upon which he fias
seated and took seats upon either
side of their fath r. Lgan placed
an arm around each' little tot and

Albeit Martin, who was jointly r

lowed the shifting scene of the afV
te.rnoon with interest. - His wife,
who ever since the trial, has always -remained
close to him with her ba- '
by in her arms; whippered a few -words
of encouragement, said, good '
bye to him for the night, and af
fectionately kissed him before leav

Tbere'was'a Vague h" '. ! ,:i ' ' ; -i r
feud existing between the! tribes ''of
the' Joshuas and ths AIceahs', .which '
dated back to the"m'tt;rder of Indian :
Tom, Joshua. J Grant was ' an Al-'5

an'who bad t killed Indian Tomr
and for that reason the Joehuaa had . -sworn
vengeacce upon him. Up to :
the time of tbe killing, however, it '
was proved -that Gran t, Logia'h and
Martin bad been good friends.
Grant, because be' was "an Indian '
official, eould get whisky at the sa
loooa at Toledo. ' - On the day pre
ceding the murder. Grant hatforom -
ised to buy whieky for Martin and
Logan. He bought the 'liauor and

martin;- a mg annsmg bout waa
indulged in and it was during this
orgie that Grant lost his life. Mar
tin was tried first. W tnesBes testi
fied thauLogan had called 'at Mar-
tin's home and told Mrs. Mania
and her two sons, that Martin ' had
killed Grant and that Martin was
lying on the river bark dead drunk.'
The family found Martin inthe-
condition that Logan said be was
and he did not recover from tbe ef
fects of the whisky until late next
morning. Martin's plea was that
he was too drank to have taken a
partio'tbe killing of Grant and
thatlgan must havecommitted the
deed after Martin had fallen a
sreep from the effects of a pint of
whisky wbicU he had drunk at one'
gulp.-; .. -
After Martin bad been tried and
convicted of manslaughter, the wit
nesses for the - defense in. his case
became witnesses for the govern- 1
ment in the caee gainst Logan.
The. case has attracted a great deal
of interest in and about the reserva
tion, and it was brought out at the
trial that almost any kind of an In-
dian could get all tbe whisky he .
wanted at Toledo. From witnesses
testifying during the trial, it was
brought out that couriers were fre- .
qutntly sent to Toledo f. r the pur- -
pose of buying wi i-k . "J'his was
brought t tbe rei-- -1 u,
in great
quantities and the lu i...us indulg
ed in right mer ry . tiuies on these
occasions. Boasting was a part of
these orgies, and when an Indian
became druck easily he was accus
ed of "drinking whisky like a white
man" and to be branded thus was
a disgrace, eo in order to be known
as a good whisky drinker it was
necessary to drink a whole quart of
fiery whisky at a breath. Martin
was known as a quart drinking In
dian, an honor of which he was un
usually proud. Judge Bellinger,
during tbe trial, inquired into the
liquor selling at Toledo very close
ly and some of the lax saloon-keep-era
are apt , to get into trouble
shortly. y
